Full-Time | Manufacturing Automation | Multi-Site Support | ~25% Travel

Were looking for a highly skilled Robotics Automation Engineer to support advanced manufacturing initiatives through the development, integration, and optimization of robotics and automation systems. This role is responsible for full-cycle implementation of controls and robotic solutionsspanning collaborative robots, conveyors, EOAT, vision systems, PLC/HMI programming, and SCADA systems.

Key Responsibilities:

• Architect and deploy automated systems across multiple product lines, including robot-guided assembly and conveyor systems

• Program, debug, and modify PLCs (Allen Bradley preferred), HMIs (Wonderware/FactoryTalk), and SCADA interfaces

• Design EOATs and integrate with industrial/collaborative robots (Fanuc, UR, etc.)

• Conduct robotic simulation and path planning using tools such as RoboDK, Roboguide, or Visual Components

• Collaborate with engineering and production to identify automation opportunities and lead process improvements

• Support change management and system documentation using CMMS and OCM protocols

• Lead multi-site projects, coordinate with integrators/vendors, and ensure compliance with automation standards

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelors in Electrical, Mechanical, or Computer Engineering (or related discipline)

• 5+ years of experience in controls/automation engineering within a manufacturing environment

• Proficiency in PLC/HMI programming (Ladder Logic, Structured Text), robotics integration, and vision system deployment

• Solid understanding of electromechanical systems, embedded programming, and industrial networking

• CAD proficiency (SolidWorks preferred)

Preferred Skills:

• Experience with Fanuc 6-axis and UR collaborative robots

• EOAT I/O integration experience

• Knowledge of MES platforms, SQL, .NET, and control panel design

• Simulation tools (RoboDK, Roboguide, etc.)

This is a high-impact, cross-functional role supporting multiple plants. If you thrive in fast-paced environments and enjoy solving complex technical challenges with automation, wed love to hear from you.
